SERVICE

Software Development

This was a very complicated web app and web service that had to handle synchronous communications between drivers and riders. The web server had to be able to handle multiple concurrent active sessions all posting regular location updates to the server.

PROCESS

The client had developed a ride sharing business in the east coast and needed to create a web infrastructure to support the service. There was a web service for handling location data updates, appointment creation, status updates, and various other requests from iOS clients (which we also developed). There was an web admin portal for the Autopilot staff to monitor all drivers and current trips as well as handle user account management. Finally there was a customer facing web site for both driver and rider accounts.

RESULT

Completely functional and publicly released ridesharing application that included a rider and driver app with a backend web-service and admin tool for tracking active rides and rider management.
